Re: The Time Capsule
In a traffic court where I once worked as a prosecutor, the chief judge and I had a code to tip each other off when we were going to be dealing with in-duh-viduals whose light bulbs were missing a filament. Just getting a ticket was not enough, you had to show some serious stupidity either in what you were ticketed for, or more likely, what you said to us.under the mouse's thumb wrote:i want to know...how do some people MANAGE TO LIVE!!!??????
The codes? The basically stupid were labeled "TDTD" -- "Too Dumb To Drive." The real special cases got a "TDTL" -- "Too Dumb To Live"!

Re: The Time Capsule
The area I lived in had a similiar deal going where the cop would circle the serial number on the ticket to tip off the judge. This cries out for a smart defense attorney to catch on and get a lot of convictions reversed and a bunch-o-bucks refunded.BRWombat wrote:In a traffic court where I once worked as a prosecutor, the chief judge and I had a code to tip each other off when we were going to be dealing with in-duh-viduals whose light bulbs were missing a filament.

Don't game the process. You will get caught one day.
Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

Re: The Time Capsule
Forgive my lack of clarity, but there was nothing unethical like that at all. The comments were never that direct -- we'd never even tie it to a specific case or person, and certainly no specifics of a case were discussed outside of court, and no secret signals in court. Just a word in the hallway as we passed: "We have a real TDTD this morning," or "What's the docket look like today?" "25 cases, with 2 TDTDs and 1 TDTL." It was up to the judge to figure out which of the defendants I was referring to!
